Verimatrix has finalized the sale of its Extended Threat Defense (XTD) assets, including mobile application protection technology, a portfolio of patents, and an expert team, to Guardsquare, a Belgian company specializing in mobile application security. This transaction follows an agreement announced in December 2025 and received regulatory approval.
The sale is part of Verimatrix’s strategic decision to concentrate on its core business of video protection, which accounts for around 90% of its revenue. Guardsquare will integrate the acquired assets to enhance its mobile app security offerings across the development lifecycle.
**Why this matters**
This transaction allows Verimatrix to focus on its primary market in video content protection, potentially improving its competitive position and resource allocation. For Guardsquare, acquiring these assets strengthens its capabilities in mobile application security, supporting its growth in a rapidly evolving threat environment.
